Community-wide building energy use comparison <br />3.4 Development Energy Use <br />To model the development, RCC was split into five neighborhoods: Town Center, Creek Neighborhood, Hill <br />Neighborhood, Southwest Neighborhood, and Outlot A. The Town Center contains a mix of uses, including <br />light industrial, commercial (including a potential big box store), multi-family housing, single-family housing, <br />townhomes, and senior housing. The Creek, Hill, and Southwest Neighborhoods are primarily single-family <br />homes and townhomes. Outlot A is zoned for light industrial. The neighborhoods are displayed in Figure 1. <br />Table 3 lists the heating and cooling energy and load values for each neighborhood. These values represent <br />the cumulative heating and cooling demand from the high-performance building standard from Section 3: <br />Building Strategies on a tepid water district energy loop. Notably, the Town Center has the highest building <br />density among the five neighborhoods, accounting for over half of the total building square footage in RCC, <br />with nearly 2.6 million gross square feet (GSF) of building area. <br /> <br />0 <br />50,000 <br />100,000 <br />150,000 <br />200,000 <br />250,000 <br />300,000 <br />350,000 <br />Baseline High-Performance <br />MM <br />B <br />T <br />U <br />Utility Gas <br />Electricity
